A '''stomp''', also called a '''Foot Stomp''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #16, page 18.</ref> is the second part of a [[jump]] that occurs while a character comes down. The player does not have to jump; a stomp can be performed any time [[Mario]] (or another character) is falling. If the character stomps on top of an enemy or switch, they can defeat the enemy or activate the switch. Stomping on enemies is Mario's primary attack, but it does not work on spiked, ghostly, underwater, or fiery enemies (if stomping is attempted, Mario can take damage). Smaller enemies that Mario stomps upon are usually flattened completely. [[Piranha Plant]]s and [[Boo]]s also cannot typically be stomped on in the platformer games, but they can in some other games, such as certain ''Mario Party'' [[minigame]]s and/or 3D Mario games, such as [[Super Mario 3D World]]. A variant of stomping is also present in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series starting in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in which it is known as [[smashwiki:Footstool Jump|Footstool Jump]]ing and knocks down midair opponents rather than dealing damage; in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', using this on [[Piranha Plant]] while it is [[crouch]]ing uniquely causes it to respond with an upwards biting attack. In the ''[[Mario + Rabbids (series)|Mario + Rabbids]]'' series, Mario can gain the ability to stomp on enemies during a Team Jump, dealing damage to them. This ability can be upgraded in Mario's Skill Tree in both games in the series, increasing the damage dealt as well as increasing the distance after performing the attack.

Stomping first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Anyone who can jump has the ability to stomp. In the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' role-playing games, Mario uses it with an [[Action Command]] for extra damage. In the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, the player can jump on a rival to stun them briefly, though it is still not as strong as a [[Ground Pound]].
